My passion, after my family of course, is Treasure Hunting. The simple beauty of things from by-gone eras have always spoken to me. Whether these treasures are found at a flea market, fine antique store, estate sale, thrift shop, or in the family attic, surprises abound.

As an interior designer, I believe it is vital to balance your decor by including found and family treasures. Surrounding yourself with things you love should always be the goal, from there you will find your true style.

As I shop, I may have a client in mind or I may want to resell at our french flea market or in my shop. I am lucky to have several outlets for my treasures including my own home! I plan to share my searching, hunting, travels, and treasures with you and encourage you to enjoy adding your treasures to your home.

Apple Harvest Event

I have been so busy this week preparing for our French Apple Harvest event at Le Potager that I did not have any time for treasure seeking. Instead, I spent dozens of hours creating a wonderful autumn experience for our customers. Our unique, beautiful, abundant look was once again, very well received.

Our focus was the apple- the jewel of the fall. We offered sweet and savory dishes featuring the apple paired with wonderful French food items from our store pantry.

Continuing with the French apple theme, the spirits we served were traditional French Calvados and a hard French apple cider.

Today was such a pleasure. Spoke with so many of our regular customers and met some new customers who were very thrilled to happen into the shop on this apple event day.

With today's event behind us, we embrace the busy holiday season ahead. Tomorrow I am off before the sun rises to search for new treasures. I am focusing on searching for holiday specific items. However, we all know that means, I will find everything except what I am actually looking for.
